[QUOTE=Max7]Well after much delay its in, the block and tranny are there to stay everything else I'm just "test fitting". So close. wiring is 90% done, fuel is 90%,
I got more polishing to do and need to finish making mounts for the intercooler and rad, then hack up the intake tubes and another ten thousand little things.
I could have it running this weekend, I have everything I need but I got a few little, did i say "LITTLE" changes? hehe. never ends.....
Even got the "almost new" fully rebuilt steering box in there, its nice!
Sorry for the small camera phone piux, I got high quality ones from my regular camera I'll just wait till im done for the whole set... consider these more teasers..


I was beginning to wonder what had happened.

Wiring should be simple man, it was already done. Except for a couple of wires, you will have to wire in. Fuel pump etc.

On horsepower comments. The car ran like a freaking bat out of hell. Way too much for rx-7 frame I had. I hope max will have some hookup that I didnt.

Hope you did the steering box when the motor was out. Way way easier!

Good luck max, hope your having fun with it. When you get it together, be careful dont want to read about you in the paper. The car was scarey fast!

Low Impedance - yep that some of the hard work that was going on, missed out on some BBQ though.....

Thanks for the comments Oh thats Paul's shop, so a BBQ at my house would not be as thrilling.

Boy how did I get dragged into this?????lol

Yes my S4 turbo has had wastegate porting but it was still not enough to keep the boost from running away. I still had to put in an external waste gate and Greedy controler. And yes the fans have been changed from stock.
